Got the base one, amazingly refined and smooth sounding dac it is about as good as it is going to get for a source, handily beats up on everything I own, my NFB-5 is a distant second to the silky sound of the pulse. Guys that got in on an early deal like Danny and I did are going to get the deal of the century for audio.
By the way the more I hear the MSR7 the more I realize just how important your source is going to be for the MSR7 as it is leaning more toward a neutral sound signature over a heavily colored one. It is definitely made for higher end sources, higher quality files. The sound quality multiplies with an excellent source.
I can see how a standard or stock sound for a source with low bit rate music is going to not sound so good on the MSR7.
Dsnuts finally got the MSR7! Won't be long until I have to have it... I'm worried that I don't have a good enough amplifier for it. It doesn't seem like the DX50 will cut it! Can't wait for more impressions
Size vs. wayne's Tenores The most red on a cable I can tolerate, it is a line down the edges only thankfully.
^Note also that even in the package without being plugged in they were so powerful it shattered the cardboard inside the box there
^Remind you of anything?
More to follow when I get some time for myself, and time on these. ( way too many projects then what is left of real life here takes it's toll )So far the 15.4mm are standout ( wow Gungrave OST Disc 2 the oboes and strings etc ), and the Esfera reverse firing ( 13.6 mm ) is top notch too ( vocal inflections and hard to pinpoint where the sound comes from etc great staging and "inner size"). Black and green isn't shabby at all though either( only tried for a few minutes, the 15.4 are on mainly now )
Be interesting to see what if any subtleties change.
Would like to grab the new Elecom 1000GD's and 2000GD's eventually
If they change after a bit I will still say that.
There should be a couple more impressions on a model here after a week or two from some other members I KNOW %100 are getting one of the above.
In due time.
And have a great Christmas all !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice for taking one for the team! I wait for Ayoyama/Woodlandhills for their good prices and ZA that had zero issues(superstitious maybe) for me so I won't be one of the first adopters. look forward to the impressions from you and Danny!
Let's remember Headphone Addict also. I read over in the member's lounge where he and his daughter were recently involved in a very bad car accident. He was one of the first reviewers I encountered years ago when I first joined Head-Fi.
